Govt rejects blood donation centres reopening

The Western Australian Government has ruled out re-establishing blood donation centres in the state's north.

The Opposition is demanding the Government consider operating a mobile blood bank in the mid-west, Pilbara and Kimberley, an idea that has been rejected by Health Minister Kim Hames.

Broome's blood donation centre was closed about two years ago because of staffing issues and Geraldton's closed earlier this year.

Opposition health spokesman Roger Cook says he will not give up.

"We'll be working with the Red Cross and other stakeholders to make sure that we can find solutions for residents in the mid-west and north-west to actually be involved in our health service by active blood donation," he said.
